During Combat The rogue focuses on one target, using Power Attack, sneak attack, and the ongoing effects of his bleeding attack ability and blue whinnis poison to deal as much damage as possible in a short amount of time. If the target tries to flee, the contract killer uses Stand Still to prevent escape, or throws his poisoned dagger.

MOttARN THE CORPSEMAKER Mollarn is an old elf, and the only constant he has found over the centuries is that people are fragile and prone to unexpected injuries and death. Having lost countless friends in his lifetime, he has given up on forming anything but the most casual attachments to others, and has transformed himself into an agent of death. Killing gives him no sense of satisfaction or pleasureit is simply as common and routine as breathing. If he must kill others to reach his intended target, he does so without remorse or guilt. Combat Encounters: Mollarn might arrive to murder one of t he PCs or someone known to them. A victim could merely be an obstacle in Mollarn's path to his true target, and getting the person out of the way is enough to get Mollarn to proceed toward his intended foe. Roleplaying Suggestions: Utterly without scruples, Mollarn might work for the PCs as an assassin. If he has been double-crossed by an employer, he might ask the PCs to help him get revenge, especially if the PCs dislike the one who betrayed him.

NEBERTON THE W1SE Neberton could have been a spellcaster, but felt it required too much work. Instead, he uses his natural talents for trickery and altering his appearance to acquire money and shelter-and get company for his bed. He isn't malicious, but feels no remorse for conning the rich and gullible. Combat Encounters: Neberton avoids combat if at all possible. A duped ally might turn on him, a spurned lover may send a champion (such as a PC) to duel him, or he could whip a crowd of "believers" into a mob intent on protecting their "savior." Roleplaying Suggestions: N eberton's talents make him a good "face" for a group of PCs lacking adequate diplomacy. His many schemes in various cities give him valuable information on high and low society, including the means to infiltrate exclusive parties or find the secret ins and outs of castles and mansions.

OlENJACK THE A XE Olenjack worked his way up through the ranks of the guild he now runs with a patient but firm hand. He has always been unusually tall for a dwarf, and frequently jokes that he's used magic to make himself even taller. He is patient and deliberate, able to keep multiple schemes and long-term plans in mind simultaneously, and never forgets (or lets his acolytes forget) that as his dwarven lifespan is longer than that of his human enemies. He's often able to plan for the future, remain patient, and let his more brash enemies walk directly into the traps he's laid for them. His nickname refers to his habit of taking swift, decisive action after quiet planning, executing his will in one stroke. Yet despite his formidable nature, he's learned the value of spreading the wealth and not preying too heavily on locals. As a result, he remains a pillar of his community, highly respected even by those who suspect his criminal ties. Those living within his territory seek his advice and ask him for favors, most regarding him as a beneficent but firm grandfatherly figure without ever realizing his true hardhearted character. Combat Encounters: Olenjack and his bodyguards might fight the PCs if a peaceful meeting goes terribly wrong, if the PCs betray him and he wants to personally teach them a lesson, or if they threaten the livelihood ofhis guild and have already proven themselves capable of overpowering his minions. Roleplaying Suggestions: Given Olenjack's ties to the community, the PCs may interact with him in a king's court, at a meeting of mercantile guildmasters, or among the patrons of high society.

PELETHA Peletha's dark career as a torturer began as a child, when she collected live insects and pinned them to her wall with needles and nails. Soon she moved on to larger, bloodier animals, and started beating the children in her neighborhood at random. Taken in by a cult of the god of pain, she spent her teenage years as the "pet" of the high priest, learning to understand new heights of pain and how to inflict it upon others. Though she appreciates the delicacies of torture, she prefers more direct methods-namely, beating her victims with her magical spiked chain. Combat Encounters: Peletha might hunt the PCs of her own volition, or pursue them on orders from her cultist masters. She could be encountered roaming the city or patrolling her cult's secret lair. Roleplaying Suggestions: Peletha may allow herself to be shackled and used as bait for the PCs, pretending to be an innocent victim of the church of torturers. However, she is not good at lying or interacting with people in socially acceptable ways, and her true personality and role soon become obvious.

R.OSCOUAN Roscolian is a mercenary sniper, willing to work alone or as part of a team as long as he gets to fight at a safe distance, shooting at creatures that don't know he's there. He doesn't care whether it's unfair or unsportsmanlike; he'd rather be a coward with a hundred kills than a hero with a sword in his neck. He relies on his ring of invisibility to keep him out of trouble, and isn't averse to abandoning his companions and fleeing invisibly if a battle goes wrong. He doesn't particularly like dungeons because he feels the narrow tunnels don't allow enough space between him and his targets. Combat Encounters: When invisible, Roscolian can attack from anywhere, surprising unsuspecting PCs with a hail of deadly arrows and staying hidden until he can activate his ring again. Since he works best at a distance, he prefers situations where he can kill a target and then move before he is discovered. Roleplaying Suggestions: Roscolian doesn't brag about what he does, and the PCs might think he is just a humble, local scout or archer. He'll work for almost anyone, so the PCs may be able to hire him-though only on his terms.

During Combat The rogue uses Sickening Critical or Intimidate to hinder opponents so he can use Shatter Defenses to sneak attack them. If the opponent has magical protections, the rogue uses the dispelling attack rogue talent to break those defenses.

Each one has some minor magical training, either from a church or arcane study. SKA NRAK Skanrak was raised by a cult of religious zealots who believe arcane magic is a profane offense to the gods. He hates all arcane spellcasters with a passion, no matter what their class is, whether their magic is trained or natural, or toward what ends the magic is used. His hatred includes monsters that use arcane magic, such as nagas and dragons, and especially those that use magic to bypass the natural laws of death by becoming undead. He is very knowledgeable about arcane magic, recognizing signs of magic and quickly identifying a caster's class, bloodline, or favored school. He knows that a split-second hesitation could cost him his life, so he never makes witty chatter during a fight, instead going about his business with a grim and brutal efficiency. Combat Encounters: Skanrak often works alone, targeting vulnerable individuals (like a solitary wizard crafting a magic item) who he can then isolate and attack. He might ally with priests of his cult, especially if they can ward him against hostile magic (such as with death ward, spell immunity, and spell resistance). He has no particular hatred for nonmagical creatures, but never gives more than one warning to stay out of his way, and frequently waives that warning if it's clear someone intends to stop him. Roleplaying Suggestions: Skanrak may agree to a truce with a magic-wielding PC in exchange for help killing a dangerous opponent he cannot defeat alone, but the truce expires as soon as his objective is met.

If combat is needed, he always attacks from surprise, when his foes least expect it. During Combat The rogue prefers to move up, strike suddenly, withdraw before his foes can respond, and use his hot of disguise to change his appearance once he's out of sight. He relies on his rogue talents to protect him.

He creates conspiracies and topples empires without anyone ever knowing his true identity. TADROS THE HlOOEN Tadros is only comfortable when nobody knows he exists. His disguises have aliases and his aliases lead double lives. None of his contacts have any idea what he really looks like; they recognize him only by specific code words. In addition to taking on fictional identities, he pretends to be real people, creating no end of trouble. Combat Encounters: In the unlikely event that the PCs face Tadros in direct combat, he almost certainly has an ace up his sleeve. The PCs may be fighting a simulacrum, or someone else disguised as one of Tadros's aliases, or (if he is desperate) his real self with a contingency plan to cover his resurrection. Roleplaying Suggestions: With his connections, identities, and plans, Tadros can be almost anyone, even temporarily replacing one of t he PCs for a period of time.

VlNK THE StADE Vink considers himself a champion of the halfling people, their greatest son and the one who defends the small folk against any larger creature that threatens them. Having experienced a fair share of mockery because of to his size, Vink's definition of threatening a halfling is very broad, including slight insults, roughhousing by larger races, and legal actions that limit halfling rights. Though he normally uses his blades against tyrants and rampaging monsters, he's been known to obliterate entire caravans of slavers, murder government officials who demean halflings or treat them as second-class citizens, and assassinate bards or actors who perform plays that treat halflings as subjects of ridicule. Combat Encounters: Vink might attack the PCs for something he considers a slight, or work with any group he thinks advances the cause of halflings. Expressing a sincere apology and offering a compensatory gift to a halfling community usually convinces him to back down without killing anyone. Roleplaying Suggestions: The PCs might encounter Vink as an easily-insulted, hot-tempered bravo defending halfling honor, rights, or territory. If the PCs include a halfling or have acted on behalf of a halfling community in the past, he might attempt to befriend them or seek their aid for a dangerous plan.

WU SHEN Wu Shen loves death as if it were an actual person. She speaks of death as "her lover" and never as "death" or any proper name, and listeners may mistakenly believe she is referring to a mortal person. She relishes every killing, seeing them as love notes of a sort. Death's affection is the most elusive prize, and each murder brings her a moment of hope that it will acknowledge her as its favorite. To challenge herself and prove her worthiness, she often sets specific criteria for her kills, such as death in exactly three hits, or from two different directions, or while holding a black rose in her off hand. Combat Encounters: Wu Shen might select a PC to be the target of her latest challenge, attacking unexpectedly and retreating without saying a word if she fails to meet the self-imposed parameters of her challenge. Roleplaying Suggestions: With her highly romanticized way of speaking about "her lover," Wu Shen might convince the PCs to help her with specific killings under the pretense of deeds of heroic chivalry. The PCs may persuade her to help them with battles that would pose a unique enough challenge to attract her lover's attention.

YALA NDARA Yalandara has spent her long elven life perfecting the use of longswords, short swords, and rapiers. She has not even touched another kind of weapon in more than a hundred years, as she feels such things are beneath her. If her survival depends on using something other than a sword, she does what she must, but vents her rage on those around her. Combat Encounters: Yalandara knows she doesn't have to prove her skill, but likes to teach upstarts a lesson, and might duel a martial character for fun.

A MR1 Et THA SK Amriel is a hollow shell of a man. He was raised to believe dragons are the true masters of the world, and his will is so broken that he cannot believe otherwise. When in the presence of a dragon, he hangs on the creature's every word, and is greatly tempted to grovel like a slave. When away from dragons, he is arrogant and condescending, knowing that the dragons have chosen him to interact with lesser races so they do not have to. His greatest hope is to become a dragon disciple so that he can become closer in flesh and spirit to his masters. Combat Encounters: Amriel could be the guardian of or advisor to a young dragon, an agent of a more mature dragon, or the leader of a kobold tribe. Roleplaying Encounters: Amriel might be a liaison between the PCs and a nearby dragon, an agent of a secretive group of druids, or the last survivor of a dragon cult that was wiped out by a hostile force.

He struck out on his own to find others like himself.

S1NDR1ZA Sindriza was born to a shaman in an efreet-worshiping ore tribe. Her magic manifested early, burning anyone who tried to harm her and keeping her warm when the chief tried to abandon her to die in the cold. She embraced her tribe's love of violence and fire, and loves to use her powers to maim, torture, and kill. She believes she is blessed by the fire gods and meant to use her magic to conquer and destroy. She is a pyromaniac, and has difficulty resisting her urge to ignite flammable objects, creatures, and buildings. Combat Encounters: Sindriza readily allies with bandits, raiders, or mercenaries, especially if they are prone to needless violence and arson. She may lead a fire cult, or serve an efreet or a gang of fire giants. Roleplaying Encounters: Sindriza can be a valuable ally if she's allowed to satiate her destructive urges. She grows restless if kept on a short leash, even by a strong master, and is prone to verbally lash out at dwarves and elves if she can't physically attack them.

He claims to not understand why other creatures find his humor malicious, but in truth he doesn't care. He's willing to hurt others for the sake of a pun or punch line, and has a book of plucked fairy wings to prove it. Combat Encounters: Qualzar may try to annoy the PCs in a city or woodland, either for spite or as part of some elaborate, cruel joke. If one of his victims is injured in a funny way, he laughs even harder. His actions could be incidental to another encounter-he might appear just long enough to make trouble during a fight, then leave and not be seen again for weeks. Roleplaying Encounters: Qualzar could lead a troupe of gnomes or be a recent outcast from a famous circle of allies. He might make catcalls at PCs to undermine their diplomatic efforts, or arrange to humiliate them at a time when they can't retaliate.

Combat Encounters: Braxis usually a loner, but he may browbeat simple creatures, such as boggards, orcs, or trolls, into serving him.

AMARYlliS HOllEN DOCK Amaryllis, a relaxed and personable halfling, tries not to upset the apple cart too much, mainly because she doesn't like seeing other people " ' get hurt. She trusts her powers to get her through danger alive, but carries a burden of guilt over friends she wasn't able to save. She hides this underneath a veneer of constant cheerfulness and good humor, and is fond of using her magic to delight others and make friends-though anyone who underestimates her because of her love of clowning and children may find themselves in desperate straits should they rile her anger. Combat Encounters: Amaryllis might fight the PCs if she believes they are responsible for harming her friends or threatening a person or place she cares about. She has a strong sense of fairness, and may attack the PCs to right an affront against someone else. She is quick to jump to conclusions, but also quick to talk if the PCs try to explain themselves. Roleplaying Encounters: Amaryllis can be recruited as an ally easily, especially if the PCs look like they can take care of themselves.

They're frequently mistaken for druids, and often use such misunderstandings to their advantage. Many jungle wizards use natural materials for their magical gear, such as large leaves or hides for spellbooks and scrolls, unworked tree branches for wands, or grasses that can be knotted into the shapes of rings. MANDAR TAMAR1CE Mandar is a hermit living in the jungle, content to go for weeks without speaking to anyone. When dealing with strangers, she deliberately acts savage and bestial so they underestimate her power and knowledge. She sometimes obtains valuable spell components or minor magic items by treating them like trinkets, thereby keeping anyone from realizing how valuable they actually are. Some assume that since Mandar lives in the wild she has a grudge against civilization, like creature comforts, and might trade spellcasting services or information to nearby villages in exchange for food, clothing, or sweets for both herself and her familiar, Eink. This monkey follows her everywhere, and usually shows better street smarts than his master. Combat Encounters: Mandar attacks the PCsor leads villagers to attack them-in order to protect her territory or a magical site. She has allies among both arcane scholars and the druids, and could appear alongside adventurers of either type (though both sides find her a little strange). Roleplaying Suggestions: Mandar might spy on the PCs using beast shape or her monkey familiar before crossing their path to question them. If they notice her savagery is an act, she drops the pretense right away and shows the true depth of her knowledge.

This usually means inf luencing people to give them things. These wizards can be found anywhere they can get the finer things in life. Many of them become connoisseurs of one particular pleasure, going from place to place and scamming people into giving them the rarest gems or pieces from master artists, or coercing kisses from the most attractive nobles. VAEtEU S T HE CH ARME R. Vaeleus has a reputation for getting what she wants-fine food, quality wine, even sex. What she can't manage to get with ordinary looks, words, and caresses, she gets by using magic. Many people in whatever town she resides in might consider themselves her greatest lover, best friend, or trusted confidant. Vaeleus has gotten used to her lies and tricks eventually falling apart; she often has to leave town in a hurry when lovers or merchants realize they've been compelled against their will. For Vaeleus, it's a simple enough matter to just find a new town with new targets and new pleasures to experience. She doesn't waste time worrying about the bridges she's burned-after all, those people aren't worth anything to her now. Combat Encounters: The PCs might fight Vaeleus because she took advantage of one of their friends or allies. If she has really sunken her claws in, though, that friend might take her side and fight against the PCs. Roleplaying Suggestions: In certain circles, Vaeleus is well respected, and can do no wrong. People might recommend the PCs talk to her for information or contacts. She seems to know everyone, and can pull all sorts of strings for the right fee. Of course, she'd rather just take the fee and not do any work, using enchantments to skip the hard part.

She is fascinated with the play of light and shadow on physical things, and intensely studies people and objects in order to memorize and understand their shapes and surfaces. She claims that she can create a flawless illusion of anyone she has ever met and anything she has ever touched, and has used her talents for illusion to befuddle, entertain, and confound people for years. She doesn't let herself take anything seriously, even the destruction of her creations-she is comfortable with the ephemeral and impermanent visualizations of her mind's eye, and knows she can always recreate something that was lost. Combat Encounters: Miet enjoys pranks and often doesn't know when she's pushed things too far. What is innocent play in her mind might be interpreted by the PCs as an attack from a hostile, unseen force.

T YRE K GLO DFER Tyrek's love of necromancy is not due to evil motives or megalomaniacal goals, but rather stems from his clinical view of other creatures as mere objects to be manipulated in either life or death. He is as likely to purchase an unusual corpse from a poor family as he is to raid a graveyard for the parts he needs. Though working with negative energy will eventually corrupt him and turn him fully evil, for now he is an amoral scholar of the thin line between life, death, and undeath. Combat Encounters: Tyrek is usually found with undead minions he created, allied undead creatures, or death cultists paying him for his services. He rarely believes the stakes of a battle are high enough to get involved, unless he's attacked or his enemies threaten to stop him from continuing his work. Roleplaying Suggestions: Tyrek willing to join adventurers if their travels involve strange or new kinds of undead for him to examine or capture for further study. If any of his allies die, he's more likely to examine the corpse, raise it from the dead, or use it for parts than to mourn.

PRESTlGE CLASSES Prestige classes allow you to customize characters in very specialized ways. However, the prerequisites mean characters with a prestige class tend to be higher level and might require specific kinds of multiclassing to be effective. The NPC Codex saves busy GMs the time it would take to create NPCs with prestige classes. This chapter gives you useful and interesting NPCs at prestige class levels 2, 4, 7, and 10 for each of the 10 prestige classes detailed in the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook. The NPCs are character levels 9, 13, 17, and 20, allowing you to use them over a wide range of levels in the campaign. All of the NPCs in this chapter use the "heroic" set of base ability scores (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8), and the value of their gear has been determined using the Heroic Level column ofTable 14-9: NPC Gear, which can be found on page 454 of the Core Rulebook. In general, the NPCs do not list mundane gear such as rope, torches, belt pouches, and so on unless it is vital to the character (clerics have a holy symbol, rogues with Disable Device have thieves' tools, and so on). You can assume that an NPC is geared appropriately for his or her profession or adventuring career, and if cost is ever a factor, you can mark off some of t he character's extra gear for this purpose or swap it for expendable items such as potions, nearly expended wands, and so on. HOW TO USE TH1S CHAPTER As with the characters presented in Chapter 1, the three most common uses for NPCs in this chapter are as enemies, allies, and player characters, and the same guidelines explained there apply to this chapter. If your campaign requires PCs to train with a member of a prestige class before they can take levels in that prestige class, you may wish to use these NPCs as mentors or trainers for PCs interested in pursuing these specific courses of study. NOTES ON ClASSES As with the characters in Chapter 1, you always have the option to alter or add to these characters to make them even more useful to your campaign. If you're considering swapping a character's core class abilities for those of another class or archetype, be sure the altered character still qualifies for the prestige class. For example, the arcane trickster class requires a character to have sneak attack +2d6, so don't use a class or rogue archetype that removes the character's sneak attack ability. The remainder of this section examines specific alternative class and archetype choices for each of the classes in this chapter. Arcane Archer This prestige class requires the ability to cast 1st-level arcane spells, so all four of the arcane archers in this chapter have at least one level in bard, sorcerer, or wizard. If you want to alter the f lavor of these characters, you can swap levels in these core classes for levels in a similar arcane spellcasting class such as summoner or witch. You can even hand-wave the minor math differences between the classes (such as the Hit Die type of a summoner compared to that of a wizard) and create an NPC with a very different feel. For example, the tournament champion (arcane archer 4) is a bard/sorcerer, but could easily be a summoner/sorcerer or a bard/witch, which presents a very different concept for the character. Arcane Trickster This prestige class requires sneak attack +2d6, so all of the arcane tricksters presented here have at least three levels in the rogue class (the only class in the Core Rulebook with sneak attack). The requirement that the character must be able to cast mane hand means the character must have levels in bard, sorcerer, or wizard, so all of the arcane tricksters are multiclassed with rogue and one of those three classes. You could, however, replace the rogue levels in any of these characters with ninja levels (Patlifinder RPG Ultimate Combat), since the ninja is a modified rogue. The sandman bard archetype (Patlifinder RPG Advanced Player's Guide) and vivisectionist alchemist archetype (Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Manic) also give the sneak attack ability and would be interesting class swaps for arcane tricksters. Assassin This prestige class has the easiest requirements to meet (in terms of game mechanics) out of any in the Core Rulebook, so the four assassins presented here have a variety of base classes-a cleric/rogue, a druid/fighter, a monk, and a rogue. This gives you many options when it comes to quickly customizing these assassins to suit your campaign without altering much of the math. The cleric/ rogue could be an oracle/rogue, a cleric/bard, or druid/ rogue. The monk could be a fighter, ranger, or rogue. The druid/fighter could be a druid/barbarian, druid/ranger, or cleric/fighter. The rogue could be a bard, ninja, or even a summoner. Dragon Disciple This class requires levels in a spontaneous-casting arcane class (of which there are only two examples in the Core Rulebook, the bard and sorcerer), and if the character has sorcerer levels, it requires him to have the draconic bloodline, so this prestige class is perhaps the most specialized in the Core Rulebook. Fortunately, changing

the character's dragon type is very easy, allowing you to use these four characters as any of the 10 dragon types listed in the sorcerer class. Duelist This class requires three combat feats, so it is naturally suited for fighters (and to a lesser extent rogues, who can use rogue talents to gain extra combat feats). Its reliance on using intelligent tactics, wearing light or no armor, wielding a light or one-handed piercing weapon, and having a free hand makes it a suboptimal choice for barbarians (whose rage-based abilities are a poor thematic match), monks (as they can fight without weapons, and there is only one monk weapon they can use with duelist class abilities), paladins (who usually wear heavier armor), and rangers (who for the most part either are archers or fight in melee with two weapons). Therefore, the four duelists presented here all have fighter or rogue levels. Because the duelist doesn't use specific fighter or rogue class features as requirements, you can easily swap out these features with those of another archetype, such as the free hand fighter, mobile fighter, acrobat rogue, or rake rogue (all of which are detailed in the Advanced Player's Guide), to create a new duelist with this stat block. Eldritch Knight This class requires proficiency in all martial weapons and 3rd-level arcane spellcasting, so the character must have levels in barbarian, fighter, paladin, or ranger (the only way to gain proficiency in all martial weapons listed in the Core Rulebook), and levels in bard, sorcerer, or wizard (the only classes in the Core Rulebook that have arcane spellcasting). Though the theme of this class is mostly taken over by the magus base class (see Ultimate Combat), using the prestige class lets you do things that you can't do as a single-classed magus, such as using higher-level spells or arcane spells that aren't on the magus spell list, mixing arcane and divine magic (as the champion of magic eldritch knight on page 221 does), and using barbarian rage. In most cases, you can swap out the character's spellcasting class for another (such as replacing conjurer levels with summoner levels or sorcerer levels with bard levels) or swap her martial class levels for another martial class (ranger for barbarian, cavalier for fighter, and so on). Loremaster Because this class's skill, feat, and spell requirements are very specific and its unique class abilities are not particularly useful in combat, characters of this class are often relegated to NPC status as sages or mentors. The four loremasters presented here focus on knowledge of the gods, nature, humanoid history, and the planes. However, because the prestige class abilities don't alter the base class's abilities or have specific ties to the character's field of study, you can swap out class levels or change the knowledge focus to whatever you need for your campaign. For example, if you need a 9th-level planar expert, use the divine loremaster and swap her Knowledge (planes) and Knowledge (religion) skill bonuses. Mystic Theurge This class requires three or more levels of investment in two different spellcasting classes, and a character interested in this path usually can't afford to dip into other classes on the way to taking prestige class levels. One of the two unique class abilities of the mystic theurge is the ability to use spell slots from one class to cast spells from the character's other class. However, because doing so makes the spell use a higher-level spell slot than normal, this is a suboptimal choice-the character would normally do this only if he needed extra castings of certain spells and didn't have enough spell slots of the right class. Rather than presenting an underpowered character with weaker-than-normal spells, the four mystic theurges in this chapter are not depicted as using that class ability. Feel free to alter their spell lists to take advantage of this ability if it suits your campaign. Pathfinder Chronicler This class requires a small skill investment and a roleplaying or background requirement that doesn't need a specific class ability and has no effect on the character's stat block; therefore, the example Pathfinder chroniclers represent a variety of classes. As with the example assassin characters, this means you can easy swap base classes to customize these Pathfinder chroniclers to suit your campaign, such as by changing the mad prophet ( page 233) from a cleric to a conjurer, the master storycrafter (page 234) from a sorcerer to an illusionist, or the battle skald (page 235) from a barbarian/bard to a ranger/bard. Shadowdancer This class requires three combat feats and a small skill investment, so while it is mainly suited for martial characters, it is within reach for spellcasters as well. However, many of the shadowdancer's class abilitiesdarkvision, evasion, proficiencies, rogue talents, and uncanny dodge-are available from other classes or races (or can be emulated with other class abilities), so many characters who take levels in this class will have redundant abilities. Creating an effective shadowdancer requires careful selection of base classes and feats to avoid this; if you swap out earlier levels, make sure you minimize the number of these abilities the character gains from two different sources.
